i have a Madrid bamboo deck that is exactly like a dervish got it for 80 bucks as opposed to 200 just for the deck. Any denver longboarders out there? i just messed around the green mountain area. Lots of fun. 20-35 mph hills around there and not that busy of streets.

Im new to longboarding and am wanting to purchase my first board. I am looking at the Kracked Skulls M1. It is one of the cheapest setups that I could find that actually looked as though it was good quality. Has anyone ever ridden these and have feedback. Thanks

I have one of those. It's actually a decent board to start off with! Great for cruising, perfect to learn stuff on, nice and cheap. Once you do more flip tricks and faster stuff, isnt great, mine started to crack. Starting off its great, go for it!

It depends what you want to do. First off with a longboard it is easier to cruise around and bomb hills which is the primary purpose. Now more and more riders are starting to progress it to some freestyle so it is actually becoming more similar to skateboarding. It really all depends on what you want to do so your options are endless.

Kracked Skulls M1

ive road the kracked skulls M1 and wasnt that impressed. my friend who has it likes it but he is more of a cruiser/commuter. i would recommend looking on craigslist and shoot for a complete around $130 and under. you can find some really good deals if you search college towns. also depends on what you what kinda riding you want to do.

^I have to second steeze on that one. Went I got back into skating it was on a longboard, which I quickly realized was sweet downhills. Problem was it wasn't good for just riding around. A nice old school cruiser is were it's at, especially on a campus.

starting to get into longboarding and im a beginner that wants a board that I can use on my college campus and will be good a maneuvering easily. do you guys think this board will be good for me? if not any reccomendations? im trying to stay under $130.

^^my friend has the drop speed, and man that deck shreds. never ridden the tomahawk before, but the drop speed is a sick board. came with zombie hawgs and bear trucks. best setup everrr for carving and 15-30 mph slides. hope that helps:)

I have a clear 29" flexdex that's great for cruizing and is maneuverable as hell. It's heavier, so it rides like a longer board. My friends and I usually bomb/race down parking structures, but it's also great when I just want to go to the market and get a tallboy. Chug in the parking lot, like we're 16, and ride back home.

You should go for a cruiser. That would probably be the best because its smaller than a longboard but still easy to ride.

Ohhh perfect idea.

They recently reissued Christian Hosoi's hammerhead board, as well as a few Powell Peralta decks. Crazy oldschool sweetness to those boards. Makes me want to watch Thrashin' and Gleaming the Cube again. Not to mention the old bone's brigade vids.

Where did you hear that at? Sounds like complete BS. How do you plan on securely attaching a metal edge? How do you plan on dealing with the massive toe and heel drag? How do you plan on attaching the bindings?

Yea it's pretty much impossible

haha Im thinking he meant making a longboard not a snowboard. This is the official longboard thread.

No grip tape on there yet but i was thinking of slapping some on whenever i have some laying around. and these trucks are super shitty but were the only ones I have. When I get a new longboard Ill throw my old trucks on this for fun

Been there a few times. Funny thing is the more of a beating I take longboarding the more committed to it I become. I guess I just don't want all my pain to be for nothing so I try even harder to bounce back and get some new tricks down after I get hurt.

You said it dude. I like the vocabulary use there with "Weak Sauce" thats the perfect way to describe it. Someone stole my bros new Burton Jukebox board last winter and it just put him in a shitty mood. Don't steal people's shit.

Worst part is they weren't after the board. It and my pool/old school board were in my trunk when someone broke into my yard and stole my car. I could give a shit about the car, I wish they would have thrown the boards out the window.

Has anybody seen the new Sportster deck by Bustin. I was checking it out the other day and the board looks sick. If anybody is looking for a board that they can bomb hills with you need to check this out.

That board looks so sick. It seems really fun, I'd like to try a rocker deck. My best friend is buddies with one of the guys who rides for Bustin, hes an awesome rider. They are coming back to NC again soon so I'll hopefully get to ride with them
